I'm very pleased about this, too, although since it's the only animated film I've seen this year, my opinion probably shouldn't count for this.

The director is, um, loud. He's very excited! We'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Lots of groans at my watch party at his comment that Disney was "brave" for making the movie. Also a bit of an awkward moment as he thanked Nancy Chapman for coming up with "an amazing story," when she was initialliy directing the movie before... um... being let go?

Meanwhile, Aziz Ansari has announced that the cast of Downton Abbey is handing out pot brownies backstage. He can't feel his ears! Tina Fey is sitting with JLo, Amy Poehler's on Clooney's lap. But the award goes to Lena Dunham for Girls! She's reading her speech, but it's a lovely speech, and she is shaking with nerves, so I'll give her a pass. Judd Apatow, she says, is "the greatest honorary girl."
